Is my career over?

I left my job a year ago in June of last year to take care of a sick parent. In February, I got a chance to work for a property management company but it happened to be extremely toxic and they put me in PIP in April because I asked questions when I needed help and I was late on one of my statements. I left that same month. Now I am back in the job market and I can't even get a call back. I have over 10 years of experience and a BBA in accounting.

SM1 lol, I'm 27 I just have an understanding and knowledge of history. Did you have to Google that reference? Are you that uneducated 🤣🤣🤣

You're an accountant you should know as well as anyone how easy it is to manipulate numbers like unemployment. And most of this so called job growth is in gov jobs which are a drain on tax payers. As far as the stock market goes that is irrelevant to 90% of Americans who are dealing with such aggressive inflation they have $0 dollars left to contribute to their 401Ks let alone individual investment activities. In fact many have had to take a massive penalty and pillage their 401Ks to cope with a terrible job market and crushing inflation. But I guess you wouldn't hear that from your ivory tower (that reference too esoteric for you too bud?) sorry must I just use tiktoc talk for you to manage to grasp any meaning in my words? Seriously though why don't you try volunteering and talking to the average Americans and ask them why they aren't jumping for joy that the rich are getting richer off of stock market gains of which the average American has no meaningful piece.

It’s all India and outsourcing. There is a shortage of accountants in the US. A third of accountants have retired or are retiring in the next few years (baby boomers).

However all firms are moving operations to India and laying off onshore staff (for better margins). That creates the artificial supply of accountants in the US. It’s funny that people who are in a country that doesn’t follow US GAAP are the ones auditing US companies.

I hope that one day the SEC says that’s enough, you can’t outsource certain functions anymore.
